{"title":"Otis Redding","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough his career was relatively brief, cut short by a tragic plane crash, Otis Redding was a singer of such commanding stature that to this day he embodies the essence of soul music in its purist form. His name is synonymous with the term soul, music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of gospel and rhythm \u0026amp; blues into a form of funky, secular testifying. Redding left behind a legacy of recordings made during the four-year period from his first sessions for Stax\/Volt Records in 1963 until his death in 1967. Ironically, although he consistently impacted the R\u0026amp;B charts beginning with the Top Ten appearance of \"Mr. Pitiful\" in 1965, none of his singles fared better than #21 on the pop Top Forty until the posthumous release of \"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay.\" That landmark song, recorded just four days before Redding's death, went to #1 and stayed there for four weeks in early 1968. It marked a new direction for the singer toward a soul-folk-pop synthesis that drew from such influences as Bob Dylan and the new breed of performers at the Monterey International Pop Festival, at which Redding had performed.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"my-lovers-prayer-dont-mess-with-cupid","title":"My Lover's Prayer\/ Don't Mess With Cupid","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is a beautiful Near Mint copy of this Redding wonder.
